The North Pacific 28’ Pilothouse is the perfect pocket trawler. The NP28 is large enough to be spacious and provide comfort during extended trips, but small enough to trailer without a permit. The concept provides people with the ability to economically cruise Alaska in the summer, Florida in the winter and every lake and campground in between.

The wiring on all North Pacific Yachts is done neatly following ABYC standards.

NP yachts ensure the wiring is accessible and easy to run new wiring in the future. The wire is color coded and made from tinned copper, which prevents corrosion.

Behind every electrical panel (or at every bus bar), each wire is numbered according to the wiring diagram provided. Through-hulls and other equipment are also bonded.

Running Gear:

The NP28 is equipped with a single engine, but is still very maneuverable. Like all other models, the NP28 is equipped with a large rudder that gives quick response, even at slow speeds. Standard equipment includes a Vetus 35KGF bow thruster, which is adequate even in strong winds.

The keel on the NP28 will provide directional stability, helping the captain stay on a straight track. A skeg extends from the aft end of the keel to the rudder shaft, giving good protection to the shaft that runs through the keel and the propeller.

Speed & Fuel Burn:

The hull is a semi displacement hull. With the standard engine, it’s designed to achieve a maximum speed of around 13 knots with a light load. Highly efficient at 6kts, the NP28 burns approximately 1 gallon per hour. At 8kts, the NP28 burns 3 gallons per hour and at 10 knots, approximately 5 gph.

A deep V at the bow prevents snap roll while hard chines at the stern give it stability and lift. Constructed of solid, hand-laid fiberglass, the NP28 is surprisingly sea worthy and stable for a smaller trawler. Two layers of epoxy below the waterline give the hull further protection. After that, three coats of Micron Extra are applied to the bottom. Like all other North Pacific Yachts, they build the sides of the hull with a planked look.

Welcome Aboard...

The North Pacific 28' Pilothouse is the perfect pocket trawler; large enough to be spacious and provide comfort during extended trips, but small enough to trailer without a permit.

The concept is wonderful, providing people with the ability to economically cruise Alaska in the summer, Florida in the winter and all the lakes and campgrounds in between.

This NP28 has a modified hull giving added stability and speed. Some other key design features incorporated are a full body salon for maximum space, large windows, glass doors, open space and hatches add to the open feel. The NP28 is built to the same standards as all other North Pacific Yachts and so share common features like the easy access to all equipment, a solid low-maintenance exterior and a warm, beautifully finished teak interior.

Pilothouse

From the salon there are two steps up to the pilothouse. With 6’5” of headroom, nine windows and a door on each side, the raised pilothouse feels open and offers excellent visibility as well as access to the forward deck.

From the helm, you have great visibility fore and aft, making docking easy.

Salon, Dinnette and Galley

Entering the salon from the cockpit, you go through an aluminum door with a large glass window inset, adding light to the interior.

The 6 large windows and 6’5” of headroom give the salon a feeling of spaciousness.

On the port side is a 7’ long settee that converts into a pullout bed in seconds. Under the settee are three large drawers.

A high-low table with folding leaves makes an excellent coffee table that is non-obtrusive (or a dining table).

The galley is complete with an under-counter 5.7 cu. ft. Nova Kool fridge/freezer, a two burner propane cooktop and a large single sink with a drain board. There is ample counter space and the counters are topped with Staron. Four drawers and cabinets under the counter provide plenty of space for utensils.

Engine Room, Propulsion, Heat and Fresh Water Systems

The engine room is located under the pilothouse. Surrounding the entire inside of the engine room is 2” of sound insulation made from foam with a thick rubber and lead core.

There are multiple ways to access the engine room. First, the stairs from the salon to the pilothouse are hinged and flip up to get to the transmission. This entrance also allows access to the sides of the engine and the AGM batteries. The stairs from the pilothouse to the forward rooms also allow similar access to the sea strainer, fan belt, secondary fuel filter, oil filter and coolant. There is a hatch on the floor of the pilothouse which gives access to the top of the engine and oil check.

Construction

Hull and Superstructure are hand laid-up, molded fiberglass.

The hull is entirely solid fiberglass. A vinylester resin is used on the outer layers.

Reinforcement consists of a molded

FRP grid bonded throughout the hull bottom.

The deck and superstructure is a single FRP mold with structural coring (Nida coring on the decks - marine plywood elsewhere) as required.

Forward Berth w/Private Head

Forward Rooms:

At the forward end of the pilothouse, there are 3 steps going down. Immediately on the port side is the head, with a hanging locker on the starboard side. The stateroom is forward of both.

Forward Stateroom:

The forward stateroom features 2 single beds joined at the feet. This provides the most comfort possible in the space available. In the middle of the stateroom (where the two beds join) is a step that makes getting in and out of bed easier, and provides a place to sit while dressing. There is also a removable insert that can increase the size of the bed to the full beam. There are four drawers, two cabinets and a hanging locker on the starboard side that’s large enough for foul weather gear.

Head:

The head is made of fiberglass and finished in white gelcoat, making it light and easy to clean. An opening, screened porthole adds to the light in the head. There are two cabinets, a sink and mirror. It is equipped with a very reliable Tecma toilet. The NP28 has a 20 gallon holding tank with a macerator pump and a Tank Watch (holding tank gauge) in the head. The head also doubles as a shower and is drained into an electric sump box. There is also a hot/cold shower in the cockpit.
